New Vision Dance Company Presents the 3rd Annual New Albany Dance Festival
New Albany, May 30, 2024–New Vision Dance Company will be hosting the 3rd annual New Albany Dance Festival, July 26-28, at the Charleen and Charles Hinson Amphitheatre and the Jeanne B. McCoy Center for the Arts in New Albany, Ohio.
The festival kicks off Friday, July 26th, at 7:00 PM, with the New Albany Dance Festival Concert. The New Albany Dance Festival Concert features adult dance companies from all over Central Ohio and the Midwest. The audience will be treated to a diverse range of dance styles, such as lyrical, modern, contemporary, jazz, fusion, and more.
Saturday, July 27th, from 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM and Sunday, July 28th, from 8:00 AM-12:00 PM, over 30 free dance and wellness workshops will be offered to the community. Participants are invited to learn new techniques, hone their skills, and connect with like-minded individuals. Saturday will culminate with the wildly popular Central Ohio Dance Studio Showcase at 7:00 PM. This showcase is a crowd pleaser and has historically been a sell-out event. Returning this year, will be the acclaimed International Dance Concert on Sunday, at 1:00 PM. This beautiful event will close the festival with a stunning multi-cultural celebration of dance.
The festival is the creation of New Vision’s Artistic Director and New Albany Middle School Theatre Director, Melissa Gould, “I founded New Vision 17 years ago to help make the arts accessible to all members of the community and to give performers an opportunity to create meaningful performances on stage. The New Albany Dance Festival takes this even further by including health and wellness education and experiences tailored to every member of the community.”
Free workshop registration opens on June 10 at https://www.newvisiondanceco.org/new-albany-dance-festival.html. Festival tickets will go on sale on June 10 and will be available for purchase at https://www.cbusarts.com.
